The Prince William County Public Schools hosts several events featuring musicians or artists from across the school division. These events are free and open to the public.
PWCS prides itself on the recognition and celebration of excellence for high-achieving students enrolled in our music program. The PWCS All-County Music Events provide advanced performance opportunities for students across PWCS, currently offering opportunities for band, chorus, and orchestra students at the secondary level and fifth grade students at the elementary level to participate as an extension of their classroom instruction. Students must be a regularly performing member of their school's band, chorus, or orchestra to participate in the audition/selection process.
The All-County Music events present an opportunity for students to perform in an honors ensemble, work with a master conductor, and collaborate with students from other schools. All-County Music opportunities are intended to enrich and supplement classroom instruction and to motivate students in achieving educational goals.
The Student Learning Department distributes information regarding available opportunities with PWCS music teachers, which is then shared with band, chorus, and orchestra students.
Our annual PWCS All-County Arts Festivals celebrate our vibrant and creative visual arts programs. The festivals highlight the artistic achievements of our exceptional artists with a diverse array of exhibits, including paintings, sculptures, digital art, mixed media, and more. Artwork is selected by each individual visual arts teacher through a formal process culminating with a juried process at the arts festivals.
*Schools participating in each arts festival event are listed on the linked webpage.
